Meaningful Futures with Robots Designing a New Coexistence

Meaningful Futures with Robots Designing a New Coexistence

Soon robots will leave the factories and make their way into living rooms supermarkets and care facilities. They will cooperate with humans in everyday life taking on more than just practical tasks. How should they communicate with us? Do they need eyes a screen or arms? Should they resemble humans? Or may they enrich social situations precisely because they act so differently from humans? Meaningful Futures with Robots: Designing a New Coexistence provides insight into the opportunities and risks that arise from living with robots in the future anchored in current research projects on everyday robotics. As well as generating ideas for robot developers and designers it also critically discusses existing theories and methods for social robotics from different perspectives - ethical design artistical and technological – and presents new approaches to meaningful human-robot interaction design. Key Features: Provides insights into current research on robots from different disciplinary angles with a particular focus on a value-driven design. Includes contributions from designers psychologists engineers philosophers artists and legal scholars among others.

New Centrality Measures in Networks How to Take into Account the Parameters of the Nodes and Group Influence of Nodes to Nodes

New Centrality Measures in Networks How to Take into Account the Parameters of the Nodes and Group Influence of Nodes to Nodes

Over the last number of years there has been a growing interest in the analysis of complex networks which describe a wide range of real-world systems in nature and society. Identification of the central elements in such networks is one of the key research areas. Solutions to this problem are important for making strategic decisions and studying the behavior of dynamic processes e. g. epidemic spread. The importance of nodes has been studied using various centrality measures. Generally it should be considered that most real systems are not homogeneous: nodes may have individual attributes and influence each other in groups while connections between nodes may describe different types of relations. Thus critical nodes detection is not a straightforward process. New Centrality Measures in Networks presents a class of new centrality measures which take into account individual attributes of nodes the possibility of group influence and long-range interactions and discusses all their new features. The book provides a wide range of applications of network analysis in several fields – financial networks international migration global trade global food network arms transfers networks of terrorist groups and networks of international journals in economics. Real-world studies of networks indicate that the proposed centrality measures can identify important nodes in different applications. Starting from the basic ideas the development of the indices and their advantages compared to existing centrality measures are presented. Features Built around real-world case studies in a variety of different areas (finance migration trade etc. ) Suitable for students and professional researchers with an interest in complex network analysis Paired with a software package for readers who wish to apply the proposed models of centrality (in Python) available at https://github. com/SergSHV/slric. | New Centrality Measures in Networks How to Take into Account the Parameters of the Nodes and Group Influence of Nodes to Nodes

Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning

Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning

Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning presents a new approach to machine learning—entropy randomization—to obtain optimal solutions under uncertainty (uncertain data and models of the objects under study). Randomized machine-learning procedures involve models with random parameters and maximum entropy estimates of the probability density functions of the model parameters under balance conditions with measured data. Optimality conditions are derived in the form of nonlinear equations with integral components. A new numerical random search method is developed for solving these equations in a probabilistic sense. Along with the theoretical foundations of randomized machine learning Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning considers several applications to binary classification modelling the dynamics of the Earth’s population predicting seasonal electric load fluctuations of power supply systems and forecasting the thermokarst lakes area in Western Siberia. Features • A systematic presentation of the randomized machine-learning problem: from data processing through structuring randomized models and algorithmic procedure to the solution of applications-relevant problems in different fields • Provides new numerical methods for random global optimization and computation of multidimensional integrals • A universal algorithm for randomized machine learning This book will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning researchers and engineers involved in the development of applied machine learning systems and researchers of forecasting problems in various fields.

Case Studies in Innovative Clinical Trials

Case Studies in Innovative Clinical Trials

Drug development is a strictly regulated area. As such marketing approval of a new drug depends heavily if not exclusively on evidence generated from clinical trials. Drug development has seen tremendous innovation in science and technology that has revolutionized the treatment of some diseases. And yet the statistical design and practical conduct of the clinical trials used to test new therapeutics for safety and efficacy have changed very little over the decades. Our approach to clinical trials is steeped in convention and tradition. The large fixed randomized controlled trial methods that have been the gold standard are well understood and expected by many trial stakeholders. However this approach is not well suited to all aspects of modern drug development and the current competitive landscape. We now see new therapies that target a small fraction of the patient population rare diseases with high unmet medical needs and pediatric populations that must wait for years for new drug approvals from the time that therapies are approved in adults. Large randomized clinical trials are at best inefficient and at worst completely infeasible in many modern clinical settings. Advances in technology and data infrastructure call for innovations in clinical trial design. Despite advances in statistical methods the availability of information and computing power the actual experience with innovative design in clinical trials across industry and academia is limited. This book will be an important showcase of the potential for these innovative designs in modern drug development and will be an important resource to guide those who wish to undertake them for themselves. This book is ideal for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies but it will also be useful to academic researchers faculty members and graduate students in statistics biostatistics public health and epidemiology due to its focus on innovation. Key Features: Is written by pharmaceutical industry experts academic researchers and regulatory reviewers; this is the first book providing a comprehensive set of case studies related to statistical methodology implementation regulatory considerations and communication of complex innovative trial design Has a broad appeal to a multitude of readers across academia industry and regulatory agencies Each contribution is a practical case study that can speak to the benefits of an innovative approach but also balance that with the real-life challenges encountered A complete understanding of what is actually being done in modern clinical trials will broaden the reader’s capabilities and provide examples to first mimic and then customize and expand upon when exploring these ideas on their own | Case Studies in Innovative Clinical Trials
